Add organization members by domain

Organization admins can add verified email domains so that users whose email matches one of those domains are automatically added as members when they sign up or log in. No manual invite is required for those users.

Only organization admins can add, verify, or remove domains. The Domains section appears under your organization's Settings page when this feature is available for your org.

How it works

  • You add a domain (for example, example.com) in organization Settings under Domains. The domain is added in a "Pending verification" state and Neon generates a verification code.
  • You add a TXT record at your domain with that exact code. After DNS propagates, you click Verify in the Console to confirm you own the domain.
  • When a user signs up or logs in to Neon with an email whose domain matches one of your verified domains (for example, alex@example.com), they are automatically added to your organization as a Member. They do not receive an invite email; they simply see the organization in their org switcher.

An organization can have multiple verified domains. The same domain can also be added to multiple organizations. If a user's email domain matches verified domains in more than one org, they are added to all of those organizations.

Add and verify a domain

  1. Open organization Settings

    In the Neon Console, switch to the organization you want to manage, then open Settings. Find the Domains section. The page shows a Domain field and Add domain button; if no domains exist yet, a message prompts you to add a domain to get started.

  2. Add the domain

    In the Domain field, enter your domain (for example, example.com) and click Add domain. The domain appears in the list with status Pending verification. The Console shows a Verification TXT record value (a string starting with neon-domain-verification=) and instructs you to add a TXT record at your domain with that exact value, then click Verify after DNS propagates.

  3. Add the TXT record at your DNS provider

    In your DNS provider's console, add a TXT record at your domain with the exact value shown in the Neon Console (copy it using the icon next to the value). Use the root or host you manage for the domain. Do not add a subdomain prefix to the value itself; paste the single string as the TXT record content.

    DNS propagation

    TXT records can take from a few minutes to 48 hours to propagate. If verification fails, wait a bit and try again, or check that the TXT record is published (for example, with dig TXT yourdomain.com or your provider's DNS checker).

  4. Verify the domain

    After the TXT record has propagated, click Verify in the Neon Console (in the verification section for that domain). If the record matches, the domain status changes to Verified. Users who sign up or log in with an email at that domain will then be automatically added to the organization as members.

    After verification

    You can delete the TXT record from your domain after verification. Neon only uses it to confirm ownership; the record does not need to remain in place.

Remove a domain

Only organization admins can remove a domain. In the Domains section, open the actions menu (⋮) for the domain and choose Remove. Confirm in the dialog. After removal, new users with that email domain will no longer be automatically added to the organization. Existing members are not affected.

Behavior details

  • Role: Users who are automatically added receive the Member role. Admins can change their role later from the People page if needed.
  • Existing members: If the user is already a member of the organization, no duplicate is created; they are simply signed in as usual.
  • Sign up and log in: Users are automatically added both when they create a new Neon account and when an existing user logs in. So if you add and verify a domain after some colleagues already have Neon accounts, those colleagues will be added to the org the next time they log in (as long as their email domain matches).
